The collected works of Involution

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone has come up with a way to stream mp3s to a shoutcast/icecast server. If you have, please explain in detail

On a side note, I saw an MPlayer blog on the main page, and it links to a tardist that was created in january of this year: MPlayer 0.90rc3

http://www.nekochan.net/wiki/weblog/archives/000059.html

However, the link is now dead, does anyone have this tardist hanging around or perhaps a more recent version.

Thanks

Thanks Timo, much appreciated!

Thanks guys, I have since gotten the mplayer tardist.

I've still not come up with any streaming solutions-

I've compiled the liveice XMMS plugin, but it doesn't seem to be working as it should. I get no error messages, it connects to the icecast server but never streams audio.

Has anyone successfully streamed to an Icecast/Shoutcast server from within irix? I think the only setback is that most streaming utilities expect /dev/audio and we dont have such a device to link to. Is there perhaps a way to emulate it?

I would like to broadcast for xmms/winamp players through the use of liveice or shoutcast

NEVER use a vaccum cleaner in a computer unless you have one that has a proper grounding strap. Octanes collect a lot of dust, very quickly. This is one of the downsides to a large amount of airflow going through the machine So what i would suggest is pulling out your mainboard, your PSU, and your video cards and blow some compressed air to loosen+remove the dust; then be _very_ careful plugging them back in (there are horror storys about people wrecking their backplanes by not paying attention when jamming their modules back in)

This may sound like a flame, but how dare you call _mIRC_ decent and imply that BX is not?

there are not many irc clients as feature bloated as BX, infact i think BX is the MOST feature bloated client that exists- many, many 'advanced' features that you will never use.

If you're looking for something with a GUI, that passes only plaintext, I suggest you rethink your needs.

X-Chat is fairly unstable- or at least it was for me.

epic4 is a script that runs over irssi and is very popular and stable.

Good luck-

I'm very serious,
I used it on a peecee machine, initially apt-getted with debian (stable) when that crashed on me a couple times, I compiled my own version, which showed the same result. I'm glad however that it works well for you. I just dont see the need for gui, and buttons, when all i'm transferring and recieving is plain text. but- to each their own

i have a sparc laptop (tadpole 3gx) and an hp parisc 9000, 715/100 that i'd be willing to trade. let me know if you're interested. I'd be interested in a G4

I'm looking to get an si/se as a second video card for my octane, anyone in canada with one kicking around? I've been looking on ebay for almost a week, and all i've been seeing are ssi/sse!

ooh ooh ! Gunther ! I see sparcbooks sometimes, are they usable or just toooooo slow ?

Its very usable, and the screen is more crisp and clear than any laptop i've ever seen! Mine is running sunos 2.6 with CDE and its extremely responsive.

Its not just you, the HPUX package management is a kludge, I recommend you stay far, far away from it. It is able to break many things ;]. 11i (which i dont run atm) is apparently quite compatable with linux src, so build gcc and start compiling away.

I've run HPUX for a few years now, initially 10, now I run 11. Buggy it is not. Its just as stable as my IRIX systems.

I've been running my octane for just over a year with an SSE card. I just purchased an SI card, installed it and now I'm getting BUS errors. It seems to pass POST, the fan kicks into high gear.. and then the machine seems to either:
- freeze, and both displays die
- Bus error, "fatal error /hw/node/xtalk/12" Panic kernel fault etc.


Do I need to reinstall IRIX if I install a different graphics board in the octane? Or should it have the drivers present by default? Maybe i'm missing something here. I have the SI in both available XIO slots, with the same result..

Hinv in command monitor (firmware) shows both graphics cards.

Update:
After a few more reboots, it made it all the way.. Obviously not a driver issue..

The card finally managed to behave itself, and the system was running as expected, with one hitch..

The fan kicked into high gear, and sounded like a vaccum cleaner. 2 minutes into dual-heading.. the green channel on one of my monitors died!, so out came the card, and quiet again was the Octane.

So to answer the questions:

No, it did not require a reinstall of any part of the OS, In my case, I had to reboot 4 times, encountering various different errors (hardware related? I dont know..) but the system came up, and xinerama functioned well.

Apparently my SSE+SI combination was compatable with the system.

summary:

2 x 18 gb drives
1 x 4 gb drive
SSE graphics
SI graphics
512 megs of ram
Moose cam (no evo board)
2 monitors (20"), free with system, one has bad green cathode
will have clean install of latest IRIX release

Will include an indigo2 with dual elan2 gfx 384 ram if i get a good enough offer on the octane

Well, gaim 1.5.0 is released, the neko version is 1.3.1.

perhaps someone could compile the new version?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gplflash (flash player)
http://f4l.sourceforge.net/ (flash creator)

since macromedia doesn't support IRIX anymore, perhaps we can get open source versions.

On a side note:

The neko_sshd doesn't seem to support tcp wrappers, since it ignores my hosts.deny.

can someone confirm this? and perhaps add it to the current release?

Thanks
